wordless wednesday: the little lovely

I’m officially in love with this new little table that I brought back to life. It was my first piece that I ever refinished and I’m so pleased that I can actually do this. I can DO this! We’re definitely lacking in the furniture department {little tables, dressers, nightstands, etc.} so I’m beyond thrilled knowing that I can scour garage sales and kijiji to furnish our house with “bigger” pieces for next to nothing, aside from a little sanding, paint and time! I just have to find a beautiful glass knob handle for her and that’s it!

Oh, and here’s the 200lb 9 drawer big guy so far….he should be finished in a few days.

Great job Amanda, the little table looks so cute! You should do a step by step post for us – how did you sand this down by hand? It’s always boggled my mind how to get into the corners and cracks. Any tips?

What an awesome find to get a HUGE dresser like that! I am still on my search and in the meantime had to nab boy2’s dresser for dh and I to share… hehe :) Can’t wait for the final pics, looks great so far!

When I was a little girl I had that entire dresser set. I believe it was called White Provencial. I had the night table (as pictured), the bed, a 6 drawer set with mirror, a tall 5 drawer dresser, and a desk with bookshelf.

I still have the same bedroom set as Jennifer B – lol – and using it for my daughter now. Refinishing it is a great idea and I’ve kicked that around but just wondering if you found any more non-toxic and low-voc products that would work for refinishing furniture? I know there are some great 0-VOC/Nontoxic paints but wondering about primers? Also do you use the paint additive that she suggests to keep it from drying fast? Just wondering if it’s needed.
